"I haven't been quite the same,
So sure the story of my life would never change
But in a bright-eyed way, she rinsed out the soap in my eyes,
And wrote a song that I'm about to sing

She's a magnetic girl
That I hardly even know
So this is not another love song
Just a list of things that I should know,
And everyone should know that:

1 You got to take it kind of slowly
2 You got to hurry up and make your move
3 You got to tell her how you're feeling
4 You got to be the perfect gentleman

When you shake the walls, you got to make 'em bend, yeah
You got to show her that
She's the balance beam
And I keep falling all around her fairy tale
(her fairy tale)

We took a walk in the rain
I suggested, she confess:
"There's a heart nearby to cast the shame"

Stay cool
But I'm giddy like a school boy
You got to handle with care:
This is not a toy

Then gradually we touched
And though our clothes were wet, we sat and smiled
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most

1 You got to take it kind of slowly
2 You got to hurry up and make your move
3 You got to tell her how you're feeling
4 You got to be the perfect gentleman

When you shake the walls, you got to make 'em bend, yeah
You got to show her that
She's the balance beam
And I keep falling all around her fairy tale
(fairy tale)
